Los Cabos Luxury Sailing, Snorkel and Lunch Cruise

1.Los Cabos Luxury Sailing, Snorkel and Lunch Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,515 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $149Our pick

Review of Los Cabos luxury sailing, snorkeling, lunch, open bar, hotel transfers, whale sightings, costs, and practical tips for booking.

“The actual event was spectacular! However, the pick up time was very poorly communicated. Everything in my inbox and on the app said that they were picking us up at 11, but they showed up at 10. They almost left without us. It was very stressful - running to the lobby, begging them to wait for my husband and son. I would also recommend to the organizer that they prohibit cell phone calls. On the way back from the excursion, three different families were on speakerphone with other family members doing FaceTime and phone calls. It was so distracting and disrupted the peace of the excursion.”

5.Luxury Catamaran Whale Watching Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,107 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $129

Review of Cabo’s luxury catamaran whale watch, with whale calls, Arch views, drinks, snacks, pickup details, costs, and practical tips.

“The employees are amazing and we saw multiple whales just as promised. The boat is beautiful. But it is very challenging to walk on the boat and the rail on the luxury boat low. Older adults or anyone with disabilities should be careful. I am recovering from cancer and I almost fell over board. It’s very easy when the rail goes to your knee or lower. Be careful. Hotel said it dangerous. But we loved it!! Perfect for young adults. I’d never take kids on this one. Ever.”

Review of a private Chichen Itza tour from Playa del Carmen with an early visit, cenote swim, Valladolid lunch, and flexible pacing.

“We went on this tour during our honeymoon and had such a great time! Totally worth the private experience - we could ask questions and go at our own pace. Truly a wonderful day seeing a world wonder! The lunch in Valladolid was delicious - staying in an all-inclusive it was great to get local food for lunch. The Oxman cenote was also so refreshing annd relaxing after a day sight-seeing.”

14.Riviera Maya Luxury Snorkeling Cruise with Lunch and Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 634 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $139

Review of Riviera Maya’s luxury catamaran cruise, with reef snorkeling, paddleboarding, lunch, open bar, hotel pickup, and practical tips.

“Beautiful boat..very clean. Transportation to Cancun from Playa was right on time. Organized getting us onboard. Boat staff was friendly. Not 5 stars for a couple of reasons: there were families with young kids and music being played was explicit; floating mat was older and worn and did not float above the water once u laid on it; sandwiches were good but there was nothing else offered..chips, pretzels or other snack would have been a nice add. Reset action calls out ‘Life Jackets’. Only waist belts were offered so I didn’t feel secure to snorkel..also, water was rough and distance the snorkelers were taken from the boat was way to…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 608 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $77

Review of Cozumel’s 4-hour luxury catamaran snorkel tour, with turtles, El Cielo starfish, ceviche, drinks, logistics, and honest drawbacks.

“We arrived at the check-in early. Once our full group was there, we proceeded down to the dock. We were told that we had about a 10 minute wait before the catamaran would show up. It was roughly a half an hour before it showed up and they had us lineup to get on the boat. After a few minutes, they asked us all to sit back down because there was a problem with the motor. The gentleman drove away in the boat and we were told a “faster boat” would come and take us to the turtle sanctuary. Once again we were told it would be a 10 minute…”
